With all due respect I cannot deny that the International Maritime Conventions represent the interests of the ocean-going trades and frequently produce negative impacts for short sea shipping.
Recent environmental IMO Conventions: the proposed Ballast Water Management Convention and parts of Annex VI to the international Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) — the components dealing with Emission Control Areas (ECAs) and the technical components of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI).
Although these conventions are well-intentioned, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of shipping, they threaten the interests of short sea shipping and create significant impact on socio economic developments.
